Chapter Forty-Nine: The Words of the Great Man

Not to mention that Li Jiansheng and Zeng Zhongsheng are preparing for a war, but to say that the military analysis meeting is being held in the former county magistrate's mansion in Liping County.

Mr. Zhu sat in the first position on the left side of the table in the center of the house, looked at the situation map on the wall, and said: "The whole army of our army, except for the rearguard Red Seventh Army, has all entered the Guizhou realm. The 1st Army Corps was the vanguard, the central column was the center, the 5th and 9th Army Corps were the left flank, and the 3rd and 8th Army Corps were the right flank. Now, our army has fully dispatched reconnaissance: north, in the direction of Jinping; south, towards Congjiang; Facing the direction of the Jianhe River and the Taijiang River, reconnaissance was dispatched. At present, the pressure on the main force of our Central Red Army is not great, only the Guizhou Army is in front, the Liao Lei Division of the Gui Army follows behind the Ninth Army Corps, and the Hunan Army Liu Jianxu Division follows behind the Eighth Army Corps. However, the pressure on the Seventh Army was very great, not only with the follow-up of Zhou Hunyuan of the Central Army behind, but also with the Xia Wei Department of the Gui Army on the left and another part of the Hunan Army Liu Jianxu on the right. The worst-case scenario is that Liao Lei's division and Liu Jianxu's Hunan Army Division will take advantage of the connection between the main force of the Red Army of our Central Committee and the Red Seventh Army Corps to merge attacks and finally complete the docking, thus forming an encirclement of the Red Seventh Army Corps. Therefore, we must inform Li Jiansheng and others of this situation, and strictly order the Red Eighth Army and the Red Ninth Army not to completely break away from the vanguard of the Red Seventh Army under any circumstances. As soon as there is a war in the rear, the two divisions must immediately come to the rescue. ”

Zhou Weiren sat on the other side of the table, and when he saw Mr. Zhu's introduction, he stood up and said, "I support Mr. Zhu's opinion." Telegrams should be sent immediately to the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Army Corps, informing them to act in accordance with the orders of the Central Committee. Li De muttered over there, and Wu Xiuquan's face beside him was very unsightly at the moment. Several leaders who didn't understand German didn't feel anything, only Zhou Weiren stared at Li De. Li De also seemed to feel that what he said just now was too much, and he didn't dare to look into Zhou Weiren's eyes, don't look at the map. Kaifeng, who was beside Wu Xiuquan, asked softly, "What did Li De say just now?" Wu Xiuquan hesitated for a moment and said, "He said, as long as we survive, what does he do with the Seventh Legion?" It's okay if that Li Jian dies! When Kaifeng heard this, he glanced at Li De with complicated eyes and pondered. When Wang Jialan and Mao Weiren beside Kaifeng heard Wu Xiuquan's translation, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and their faces showed extremely unhappy expressions at the same time. Wang Jialan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mao Weiren. Wang Jialan glanced at Mao Weiren a little strangely, but saw Mao Weiren standing up with a smile, walking to the map in a few steps, and said, "I also express two meanings." First, I agree with Mr. Zhu's intention and issue the above orders to the seventh, eighth, and ninth regiments. At the same time, the 8th and 9th Army Corps were required to be sure to beat the enemy hard and not dare to get too close when engaging the enemy in front of them, so that the 7th Army Corps could smoothly keep up. Second, I personally think that Li Jiansheng has a set of wars. We just need to give him the information and let him do the camera. I believe that with his ability Li Jiansheng and the strength of the Red Seventh Legion, it is completely possible to break the enemy's encirclement, and maybe even inflict heavy losses on the enemy! Seeing that everyone listened carefully to their own explanations, Mao Weiren thought about it again, and added: "I also want to send a telegram to Rong Huan and Comrade Zhongsheng, the military command of the Seventh Army Corps is fully assumed by Li Jiansheng alone, they only need to cooperate, and they don't need too much interference." Well, in the telegram to Comrade Li Jiansheng, it can be clearly stated that when necessary, he does not need to consult the Central Committee, and can handle it on his own and have full authority to change! As soon as this proposal came out, several central leaders present nodded secretly, including Kaifeng and Yilang. Although Li De knew the facts after the translation, his face was gloomy, but he did not raise a clear objection. In this way, the matter is passed. Several telegrams were sent one after another from the central to the Red Seventh Army.

Several regiment leaders on Li Jiansheng's side received telegrams separately. Li Jiansheng received two telegrams. One is to let him report the battle situation to his Red Seventh Army, and the other is to let him act cheaply, and in case of emergency, he does not need to consult the central government and can handle it by himself. The first letter, even if the central government did not send it to him, Li Jiansheng was fully aware. Because Ren Huayun, Ou Zhengping, Fan Chao and several others are all super powerful figures, they have already deciphered the enemy's code, and they know the enemy's situation well just by relying on the intercepted enemy telegrams. Today, Li Jiansheng's communication team, which he spent a lot of effort to cultivate a few years ago, has finally shown its power at this critical time. Of course, another message in this telegram from the Central Committee made Li Jiansheng sigh a little: The Central Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the other two corps to pay attention to themselves, which can be regarded as solving their worries, and they can travel lightly! The second letter, Li Jiansheng was full of excitement after reading it. Although he didn't know the specific situation of the channel meeting and the Liping meeting, he could guess that Mao Weiren already had a strong voice in the central government! He was sure that this telegram was Mao Weiren's idea! Coming from later generations, he will definitely not be rigid when he fights, and he also believes that "he will not be subject to the orders of the king abroad". But when the chief really sent such a clear telegram of authorization to himself, he showed that he trusted himself extremely and gave himself the maximum autonomy!

The mind of a great man is not an ordinary broadness! The vision of a great man, that is not the ordinary long-term! The wisdom of a great man is not an ordinary acumen!

Looks like I need to make some moves. After reading the two telegrams, Li Jiansheng sighed once, and was thinking about it, when another telegram came. When I looked at the signature, it was sent by Mao Weiren in his personal name. The telegram was full of heart-wrenching words.

“…… Comrade Li Jiansheng, the main reason why I have entrusted this arduous rearguard task to your regiment is because your regiment is good at fighting skillful battles. If you fight to the death, not to mention your regiment, even if the whole army of our Central Red Army is pressed, it will be impossible to withstand hundreds of thousands of well-equipped enemy troops. So, this time you must use your brains and ingenuity, and there is only one task, and that is to block and delay the enemy. You must do everything possible to entangle and confuse the enemy, so as to gain time for our Central Red Army to pass through Guizhou. If you fail to complete your task, when the main force of the Red Army enters Guizhou to fight, the Kuomintang heavy army group will chase after us and beat us in the ass as before, so that we will not have a chance to breathe, and it will be impossible to form a campaign environment of strategic significance. Therefore, you must drag the enemy's heavy army group on the Hunan and Guizhou borders, preferably in Hunan for more than 10 days, so as to gain time for the main forces to open up a new strategic space in Guizhou. After completing the task, if possible, quickly catch up with the main forces along the route of our army's march; If the enemy is heavily encircled, they can independently choose the direction of the breakout, open up another base area, or fight guerrillas. I also give you a high degree of autonomy here, and you can make decisions on the fly. At the same time, I have sent a telegram to Comrade Luo Ronghuan and Comrade Zeng Zhongsheng, clearly stating that all the affairs of the Red Seventh Army will be decided by you, Comrade Li Jiansheng, on the spot, and not by a meeting of the party committee. Comrade Rong Huan's task is to cooperate with you in mastering the troops, and Comrade Zhongsheng's task is to cooperate with you in doing a good job in staff and logistics work. Finally, once again, you must pay attention to skillful fighting, and you must not fight all the troops. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to win the final victory! ”
